Re: Static functions Vs Nonstatic functions

Hi! > class Cube { > function weird() { > echo Duck::foo(); > } > > } > > class Duck { > public function foo() { > echo 'My class is: ' . get_class($this); > } > } > > $rubik = new Cube; > $rubik->weird(); // Output: My class is: Cube This code produces: Deprecated: Non-static method Duck::foo() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context which informs you about the fact that what you're doing is wrong. This capability is kept for BC reasons. There was a discussion about dropping this from PHP 7 but it wasn't yet decided to remove the support. In any case, this has little to do with static and non-static functions having different namespaces. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
